Charlie,Was that criticism? I have posted a few projects and all the comments have been very positive and supportive. That’s nice but I appriciate some constructive criticism and positive suggestions.If we are to grow and get better in the craft a little critisim is a good thing. Thanks.

I am going to go against the grain a little here and say that although I could see it intefering with putting down trays of food or drinks, I like the raised river stones. There was a feature in FWW magazine about the benefits of tops split down the middle the long way , and one option suggested was stone inlays for interest. Apparently having this split allows the wood to expand towards the center, which would eliminate the breadboard ends and the rest of the table shifting out of flush seasonally. If it is criticism you’re after, I’d say the stones and pegged breadboards are garnish enough without the contrasting wood inlays, but that’s nitpicking. Awesome job! (I just looked at your other projects, and you’ve got Walnut on lockdown, my friend!)
